NOIDA: Residents of Jaypee Aman Society in Sector 151, Noida, have strongly objected to a proposed mass gathering planned in the society’s private park, alleging that the Noida Police granted permission for the event without consulting either the residents or the society’s facility management. The residents have urged the concerned authorities to take immediate and decisive action, warning that they will be forced to approach the court for legal remedy if the event is not halted.
According to residents, an event under the banner “Bhavya Hindu Sammelan” is planned for February 15 within the residential premises. They claim the programme is being organized without the approval of the Facility Management Group (FMG) and against the collective consent of the residents, raising serious concerns over safety, security and law and order.
Pramod Kumar, a resident of Jaypee Aman Society, told The Daily Guardian that allowing a large public gathering inside a private residential complex could have serious repercussions. “The event is being imposed on the society without any discussion or approval. It could lead to a breach of peace, public nuisance and safety risks, potentially requiring emergency intervention at a later stage,” he said. Kumar added that despite submitting a written complaint to the Knowledge Park Police Station, no action has been taken so far.
Sharing similar concerns, Neeraj Kumar said that over 1,000 people, including individuals from nearby villages and other areas, are expected to attend the programme. “A private residential society is neither authorized nor designated to host public gatherings of this scale. Such an event poses an immediate threat to public order, safety and security, and could result in law-and-order complications,” he said.
Residents have also flagged multiple logistical and social issues arising from the proposed event. Shudha Joshi, another resident, told the newspaper that it could adversely affect women, children, senior citizens and other occupants of the society. “There are serious safety concerns for women, risks to children and the elderly, sanitation and public defecation problems, unchecked entry of outsiders, traffic congestion and parking mismanagement, waste disposal issues and unregulated food distribution that could create health hazards,” she said. Sharma emphasized that organizing an unauthorized public gathering on private residential premises without lawful approval is illegal and urged the Noida Police to intervene.
Another resident, Atul said that the proposed event is likely to draw a large number of outsiders into the society, with hundreds of people expected to arrive from nearby villages which pose security concerns. He said this has heightened security concerns among residents, as many families in Jaypee Aman Society live in ground-floor flats and often keep their personal belongings outside their homes.
“In such a situation, residents would not be able to move freely within their own society,” Deva said, adding that the influx of outsiders could pose serious security risks. He urged the concerned authorities to take immediate and constructive action, warning that residents would be compelled to approach the court for justice if the event is not stopped. “We will not allow such an event to be held inside our society,” he added.
The Daily Guardian attempted to contact the Knowledge Park Police Station for its response, but calls went unanswered. The newspaper also reached out to ACP Greater Noida-1 Hemant Upadhyay, who stated that he was unaware of the matter and advised contacting the authority that had granted permission for the event.
Repeated efforts to reach the DCP Greater Noida Saad Miya Khan and the District Magistrate Medha Roopam also failed, as their calls remained unanswered at the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, residents said they would continue to pursue the matter, warning that any attempt to forcibly hold the event within the society could heighten tensions and disturb the peaceful living environment of the residential complex.
